F. CAMERINO VENTILATOR HOOD Filed April 29, 1938 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 E I Inventor F .F'remon 2 Cam er'zno Attorneys Patented June 13, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFWE 1 Claim.

My invention relates to improvements in ventilator hoods for use in the line of connection between the gas range and the chimney.

The object of the invention is to provide a 5 device of the character above identified for carrying off foul odors from a room in which a gas stove is being used.

To the accomplishment of the above, and subordinate ob-jects presently appearing, a preferred embodiment of my invention has been illustrated in the accompanying drawings, set forth in detail in the succeeding description, and defined in the claim appended hereto.

In said drawings:

Figure 1 is a view in end elevation of a gas stove and line of connection between the same and the chimney with my invention interposed in said line.

Figure 2 is a view in side elevation of the hood.

Figure 3 is a view in front elevation of the hood.

Figure 4 is a view in vertical section taken on line 4-4 of Figure 3.

Figure 5 is a View of a blank from which the hood is constructed.

Figure 6 is a view in edge elevation of the baille member.

Figure 1 is a view of the same baffle member taken at right angles to that at which the device is shown in Figure 6, and

Figure 8 is a view in top plan of the baflie member.

Referring to the drawings by numerals, the device of my invention comprises a hood I having upwardly converging front and rear sides 2 and 3 and similarly related ends 4 and 5. The hood is made of sheet metal and has a lower mouth which is preferably rectangular in shape. The mouth has suitably secured therein a frame 6 having a sheet of foraminous material suitably secured across the same, said sheet being designated by the numeral 1. The top of the hood I has suitably fixed thereto a thimble 8 which is adapted to be sleeved into an upper section of the flue pipe of a gas stove such as represented at 9. A pipe section I l extends through the sheet I by way of an annulus Ill secured in any suitable manner to the sheet "I, said section being adapted for attachment to a lower pipe section II of the described line of connection. The section H is anchored to the hood I by means of radial bracket arms 12 extending from the hood I and having depending inner ends l3 welded or otherwise suitably secured to the inner face of the section II. The bracket arms I2 support a bafile plate M of disc-like form and sheet metal, said plate being diametrically split from suitable points adjacent its center and the two halves thus formed of the plate being oppositely curved, as shown. in Figures 6 and 7.

In the operation of the described invention, the fumes from the room and in the vicinity of the stove are collected in the hood I and pass upwardly into the upper section 9 of the described line of connection. The baflie plate I4 prevents down-draft and efiiciently directs the up-draft so that obnoxious odors are dissipated through the device.

The foregoing constitutes a detailed description of a preferred embodiment of my invention, but it is to be understood that the present disclosure is illustrative rather than restrictive and that right is herein reserved to modifications of the invention as described falling within the scope of the subjoined claim.

What I claim is:

A device of the class described for use in the line of connection between a stove and chimney, comprising a open top and bottom hood and having upwardy converging sides and ends and adapted to be interposed in said line of connection, said hood having a foraminous bottom, a section of stove pipe extending upwardly partway into the hood in spaced relation to the sides thereof, and a baflle plate mounted in said hood of substantially the same size as said section and spaced slightly above the upper end of said section.

FREMONT CAMERINO.
